Please check it.

It is a good idea to complete all your worksheets and bring in a model of the activity. Students will know what is expected from them to do.

Ws elementary 1:  Students read and color as indicated.

Grab some bottle caps and have children place them where you tell them.

Teacher: red bottle cap on the sandwich.

Finish the indications.

Teacher: Where is the blue bottle cap?

Students: On the milk.

Teacher: Where is the juice ?

Students: Under the green bottle cap.

Have them cut apart the cards and make up their own game, it can be memory, match, board game, etc.

Worksheet elementary 2:

And a worksheet can be turned into anything. I made a mobile!

Worksheet elementary 3: pizza shapes. More activities to do with a worksheet. Tell the children that they are going to complete the complete the pizza slice with some shapes (give them the shape template or have them make the shapes), But there are some rules.

Place the cards on a pocket chart or the board.  They can only color the shapes in the colors on the cards( red, blue, yellow, green, orange), they can only use the shapes on the worksheet and that there shouldn´t be more than 5 of each shape in the same color. 

 Have the children complete the worksheet. When finished, play BINGO!

Have the children get a marker or crayon in black, instruct them that when you name the shape with number and color , if they have it , it should be crossed out.

Teacher: Four green circles. (Use the cards to call out Bingo!)

Worksheet 4. Sort items into food or drinks.

Worksheet 5. Counting.

Food Unit Worksheet 6.  This worksheet is help express likes and dislikes related to food. Students cut from magazines pictures of the food they like and don't like.

Worksheet 7.  

Worksheet 8. 

Found a different kind of graph making on the newsletter of the www.Mailbox.com.

 I placed the graph paper horizontally inside a sheet protector. I tied yarn to each hole, so each child can place their own clothespin in their choice. The file will be free, the link is above.

Sort countable and uncountable food flashcards on the board. Students can do the same on their notebooks using the flashcard worksheet or from magazine cutouts.

Use the flashcards to introduce how to ask questions with countable and uncountable nouns.

 Draw a grid on the board and assign a number to each flashcard.

Have students write a sentence on their notebooks for each number. 

Review countable and uncountable nouns in a sentence.

Number 1: It´s a hot dog.

Number 2: It´s pizza.

Number 7: They´re hot dogs.

Teacher: Number 8 !

Students: It´s soup.

Teacher: Number 10!

                                                   Students: They´re sandwiches.

                                                      A book !

Fruit and Vegetable Theme

I joined both themes, 4 fruit (apple,banana,pear,orange) and 4 veggies
( onion, carrot, potato,tomato).

Link to all resources to keep students engaged during the language learning process:         https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Fruit-and-Vegetable-Activities-for-Elementary-ELLs-2371980

Nothing like flashcards to introduce the vocabulary words.

GRAPHING.Show the flashcards in random order and one at a time. Have the students stand up if they like the item on the flashcard. Have a student write the results on the board.

Teacher: How many students like apples?

Students: four students!

Use this Domino Game to maintain the learner´s interest.

The cutouts help to create the contexts in which the vocabulary words become meaningful. The students will participate in a conversation by expressing information.

You can print all the puzzle pieces in 11 different colored construction paper. Place a fruit or vegetable on each color.

Teacher: Where is the onion ?

Student: It is on yellow.

Teacher: What is next to the onion ?

Student: a potato on blue.

Teacher: pear!

Student: on orange.

Use the cutouts for introducing This/ These.

 And for sorting fruit and vegetables. Hand in all the cutouts to random students. Write fruit and vegetables on the board and tell them that at your signal they have to run to the board and place them where they belong.

And for more practice of the vocabulary words ,a match game. Make it motivating.  Provide more language practice using the cards in speaking and listening. It can be a game played in pairs asking simple questions. Student 1 who asks the questions has to place the cards in a Yes pile or a No pile, then see how many cards are in each pile.

Student 1: Do you like bananas ? 

Student 2: Yes, I do/ No, I don´t.

And for reading and writing.

Make a print of the cards for each group in class. Have the children in the group shuffle all the cards and place them face down on the table. One student turns two cards and reads or says what is on each card. If the cards are a match, he/she keeps them. If not, the cards must be returned to the table. All students must play. When all the cards are gone from the table, the students have to write a sentence on their notebooks with the cards they have.

Encourage students to interact with the shopping lists. Print all the cutouts or have play food toys available in class. One group will be the shoppers and another will be the sellers. You can have many shops and many shoppers. Hand in each student a shopping list card and the other group the food, not all the food has to be available in all the shops.

The buyers have to go to shopping.

Student Shopper: Do you have tomatoes?

Student Seller: Yes, I do. Here!

Student Shopper: Do you have bananas ?

Student Seller: No, I don´t. Sorry! ( moves on to another shop)

I know that you are always looking for worksheets. Here are 6 of them. Worksheets are good for individual quiet time. Go around asking questions about the pictures. Use them to review written grammar points.  Do your own worksheets and place them on the board so the students can do self-check.

Worksheet 1 and 2:

Worksheet 3 and 4:

  

Worksheet 5 and 6:

Pocket charts are good for students that finish first and need more activities. If you don´t have a pocket chart just have them do the matching on a table or the floor.

Halloween ideas for Kindergarten English Language Learners

I looked up at old files and found some pictures to share.

Bat Necklace. I found the file at www.familyfun.com

I traced the pattern onto black construction paper with a white crayon. Then, punched a hole and added a yarn.

I used to subscribe to www.kidsoup.com. They have many printables. These bats  are so nice for hanging as a number sequence line using clothespins.

Bat word family. Got it at www.makinglearningfun.com

 From the same website. I made the legs out of fun foam and used a plastic black plate instead of a paper plate.

And this alphabet web is from the same site, as well. I used a shoe lace for the weaving.

Do some fun math. Pumpkin addition. Another wonderful page. www.childcareland.com. I made the numbers using bottle caps.

If you want any of the files, please write: ei98srl@gmail.com. I am preparing more Halloween resources.

Feelings and Emotions Activities for Elementary ESL

 Link to the resource:

 https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Emotions-Feelings-Activities-for-Elementary-ELL-2023631

                                  Watch the video of the resource:

The shapes and adjectives of emotions or feelings book: here´s a book to review shapes and colors. Students will fill in the blanks with a feelings word and draw the mouth expression accordingly. There´s another version where students will also fill in the shape word. Nice to cover the vocabulary and grammar.

The family and feelings book: students will review family members as they draw the mouth expression and write the feeling. This is also included in the family blog post and TPT unit.

Feelings Clip Board: use it in your literacy center for active learning. Students can independently put the clip word corresponding to the picture. They can practice the new words and solve the problem at his/her own pace.

I glued the word onto wood clothespin.

Monsters Feeling Book: There´s a colored version to be used as a reader.  

There´s a second version to be used as a coloring book. Students have to read in order to color the monster by reviewing facial parts and colors. It will give children the opportunity to practice coloring inside the lines with patience and improving motor skills. Students will have to focus on each part of the face. 

I included puppets to along to identify emotions and name them.

Word wall: Display the pictures and words on the wall or bulletin board. Use it before, after or during reading or writing activities. It can be used individually, small groups or the whole class as a permanent reference to the new words creating a rich print environment.

I am adding the flashcards.

Trace the word cards: children learn to read  and spell faster when they write with their hand. The benefit with extend beyond the childhood years by preventing writing difficulties in the future.

Pocket chart: this activity teaches sight words and vocabulary. I use a commercially made pocket chart and make all the cards in the same format so you can mix them accordingly to your class. The pocket charts are not used enough in the English class, in most Latin countries they are not even available. If you make one I´d love to see it.
